Need Expert Needed on Antique Bally Coin-Op Machine
 

I need someone who is or can reccomend an expert on an antique coin-op unit that I have had for years. I have before or yet to see another like it anywhere. i can find no info either on the web or in books at the library.

It is a "Bally Multi-Bell" that appears to have been manufactured in the late 40's to early 50's. It is a combo of a slot machine like (three wheel set and lever) coupled with flashing lights on a slanted vertical backboard. It does not spit out $$. I believe the player(s) were to bet on the series on lights then hit the lever and see what fruit came up. It is about dimension of a washing machine only larger.

this place offers copies of the factory book for your machine. if you are handy, it should be just the ticket.
good luck.

I would look in your area for someone who services antique pinball machines, since they will already be familiar with the Bally electronics etc of that era. My parents own a 50's Bally pinball machine, and their city (Salt Lake) has several people who work on these machines as a sideline gig.

Thanks!! :D

What I'm really seeking is the current market value.
